ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 67 year old woman living in Pontypridd with my family. I have a Learning Disability which affects my day to day life and as a result I require support with various things, such as my mobility which is decreasing.

My interests include socialising, shopping, meals out, ten pin bowling, music and chatting away. I love car rides down to Porthcawl and Ogmore.

My family and friends are very important to me. I am an outgoing and bubbly person who likes to have banter with others. It is important for me to follow my routines and if they are broken I can become very upset and verbal.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

As my Personal Assistant you will work closely with me and my family. Your role is to support me outside my home. You will provide respite for my family and give me an opportunity to access activities independently from my family.

HOURS OF WORK

45.5 hours per week to be used flexibly (Mon-Fri 4 pm- 8 pm. Weekends either day or evening hours). These hours will be shared between a few PAs, so even if you can pick up one shift a week for a few hours you will be considered.

Evening and weekend work is a requirement for this post, so flexibility is essential.

Please indicate on your application how many hours you’re available to work each week. 

RATE OF PAY

meets NMW

40p mileage allowance

TASKS CAN INCLUDE

·Accompanying me to activities and events within the community

·Actively being involved in an encouraging my social engagement

·Ensuring my safety at all times

·Taking me out in your car

·You must be proactive and get me involved with different things

·A car owner/driver that holds a clean driving licence and willing to use their own car for work

·Boot space needed to fit my wheelchair
